  • 基于四旋翼构建倒立摆式火箭模型,利用对称性解耦控制。
  • 实现几乎全局轨迹跟踪,抗未知恒定干扰,精度高。
  • 适合研究火箭类飞行器的控制算法,低成本易复现。

本文提出QuadRocket,一种基于四旋翼的火箭原型平台,用于低成本、低风险地验证运载火箭类系统中的先进推力矢量控制策略。该原型由圆柱形主体通过万向节安装在四旋翼上方,形成具有显著惯性的空中倒立摆。控制设计将耦合系统建模为沿纵向轴施加矢量力的轴对称刚体,采用二维球面上的简化姿态表示,显式利用车辆轴对称性并解耦偏航与推力矢量方向。在此模型基础上,设计了自适应反步控制器,在未知恒定扰动下实现几乎全局轨迹跟踪;通过控制点变换缓解非最小相位特性。四旋翼被视作推力矢量执行器,采用基于动态面的姿态控制器以跟踪期望推力矢量,考虑执行器动态并避免虚拟控制信号的显式微分。完整架构在仿真中评估,并在室内运动捕捉实验环境中验证。结果表明,轨迹跟踪准确,扰动补偿有效,证实QuadRocket作为推力矢量控制机器人飞行器的通用测试平台的适用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper presents QuadRocket, a quadrotor-based rocket prototype that provides a low-cost, low-risk platform for validating advanced thrust-vector control strategies for launch vehicle-type systems. The prototype consists of a cylindrical main body mounted on top of a quadrotor through a universal joint, forming a flying inverted pendulum with non-negligible inertia. For control design, the coupled system is modeled as a single axisymmetric rigid body actuated by a vectored force applied along its longitudinal axis. A reduced-attitude representation on the two sphere is adopted to explicitly exploit the vehicle's axial symmetry and to decouple yaw from the thrust-vector direction. On this model, we derive an adaptive backstepping controller that achieves almost global trajectory tracking in the presence of unknown constant disturbances, while a control-point transformation mitigates non minimum-phase behavior. The quadrotor is then treated as a thrust vector actuator, and a dynamic-surface-based attitude controller is designed to track the desired thrust-vector, accounting for actuation dynamics and avoiding explicit differentiation of virtual control signals. The complete architecture is evaluated in simulation and validated experimentally in an indoor motion-capture arena. Results demonstrate accurate trajectory tracking, effective disturbance compensation, and confirm the suitability of the QuadRocket as a versatile testbed for thrust-vector-controlled robotic vehicles.
